The present inventionre'latestocombined shade roller andcurtain" pole support and more particularly tothattype to be. adjustably secured to the sash so that the'window lowered and proper ventilation at the topof the window secured.

Another object of the invention is the 'pro-' ,vision of a device of this character wherein the structure is made adjustable so as to ac- 0 commodate the device for different stylej windows, that is so that the window shade and curtain may be adjusted toward or' away from the window.

A still further'very important object of theinvention resides in the provision of a de-j vice of thisnature which is exceedingly simple in its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to assemble and disassemble, thoroughly eflicient andreliable in use, and

- otherwise well adapted 't'oflthe purpose for which it is designed.

WVith the above and numerous other objectsin View as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention'resides in certain novel features 0t construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter described and claimed. f

-Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that the numeral 5 denotes thewindow frame with an upper sash 6 mounted therein in the usual Well known manner. A

detail section taken substanpair of L-shaped bracket'members A are securedto the upper rail of the sash at the sides thereof. w f Each bracket A includes an arm 7 with openings 8so" that fastening elements 9 may pass: therethrough to secure this armflat against the upper rail of the sash 6 in a hori- Zontal manner'with the upper arm 10 extendingjat right angles from the outer end thereof and provided with an opening. 11 and anfextension 12' which is reduced in width. 3 i j 4 Letters B denote other bracket members which are also L-shaped in formation. 'Each bracket B includes an'arm14 having a bore for. receiving theextension 12 and a set screw 6 15 to bind on saidextensio'n '12. From this arm 14 extending at right angles therefrom is a horizontal armJ16, the end portion of which is'thickened as is indicated at 17 and provided with verticahp'ockets 18 having relatively narrow slots 19. in the outer walls thereof.

' Bracket members C includeshanks 20 with heads 21 on the inner endsthereof to'fit in the pockets 18. Curtain poles 23 haveltheir 7 ends extending inwardly to telescope over the shanks 20 of the bracket member C.

Screws 24; are threaded 'fthrough openings 11 and have knobs 25 at the inner ends thereof and swiveled heads'26 at the outer ends thereof withi'riction' material 27 thereon to engage the inner. wall of the windowframe sothat theisash winner automatically gravitate downwardly because of the additional loadplaced thereon this supportingstructure just described and the curtain shade hanging therefrom.

Thearms16 of the bracket B ime' i jec 'tions 29 so that the window shade roller 30 may 'be mounted therein ,in the usual well 99 known manner. v p

I .It will'be noted that with thistype of con struetion, the curtainpole and windowbrack et may, be 'mounted so thatin appearance the usual-mounting is simulated ibutjthat th 'windowsash maybe lowered from the so as to provide ventilation and the shade and curtain will not be affected by the draftso as to cause rafliing or so as to .rumple for other- I wisemanthem. m0

It is thought that the construction, utility and advantages of this invention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this art without a more detail description'thereof.

The present embodiment of the'invention has been disclosed in considerable detail'for the purposesof exemplification andin actual practice it attains the features of advantage j enumerated as desirable in the statement of the'inventi'on and the above description.

' It is apparent that changes .111 the deta ls of construction, and in the combination and arrangement ofparts'm'ay be resorted to r V at right angles thereto and OutWflIdlIYtllQl'G- without departing from the spirit or scope of the inventionjas hereinafter: clainiedor SaC- rificingany of its advantages. 7

Having thus descrlbed my invent on, what I claim as new is: a

1. A device of the class described comprising a primary bracket member of L-fshaped formationto provide an. arm adapted't'o be secured to the upper rail of a sash and'anarm projecting at right angles outwardly therefrom, and a secondary bracket member of L shaped formation including one arm hollowed to telescope over said other arm of the primary bracket a nd another arm extending from, means forv supporting a window shade from the said other'arm of the secondary bracket, said other arm of the secondary bracket including pockets, shanks having heads seated in the pockets, saidshanks adapted to have curtain poles telescoped thereover, ascrew threaded th'rough'said other arm ofthe primary bracket member for engaging a Window frame frictionally. V 7

2. In a device of the character described, a

primary bracket member of L-shaped formation to providean arm adapted to be sec'uredto the upper rail of a sash, and anarm l projec-tingatright anglesoutwardly therefrom, and a secondary bracket member of -shaped formation including an arm hollowedito telescope over the second ment oned armiof theprimary bracket, and another arm extending at rightangles thereto and out "-wardly therefrom, means for supporting a j Window shade from -theilast mentioned arm of the secondary bracket, said second men-' tioned arm of the primary'bracket being re,-

1,7eaa57 v 3. In a'shade bracket of the character described, a pairof bracket members, one of said bracket members having a socket formed therein, the other of said bracket members having a reduced end portion receivable in said socket, means for retaining said reduced end portion in an adjusted position within said socket, means for securing said other of said bracket members to the upper rail of a sash, a screw threaded through said other a bracket, adjacent its reduced end, said screw having ahead on one end thereof for frictional engagement with a window frame;

4-. In a device of the character described, a primary bracket member, a secondary bracket, an adjustable connectionbetween said primary and secondarybracket members whereby said'secondary bracketmember may members to a window sash, and a member carried by said last mentioned bracket memher, and means for mounting said member on said one bracket member for adjustment relative thereto, for movement into and out of frictional engagement with a Window frame. i

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures.v I
